In his debut, Dancing Arabs, Sayed Kashua used his "wickedly
double-edged eye ... to deliver an on-the-ground sense of being an
Arab in Israel that you .. couldn't get from any news report"
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer), establishing him as one of the most
daring voices of the Middle East. In his searing new novel, a young
Arab journalist returns to his hometown--an Arab village within
Israel--where his already vexed sense of belonging is forced to
crisis when the village becomes a pawn in the never-ending power
struggle that is the Middle East. Hoping to reclaim the simplicity
of life among kin, the prodigal son returns home to find that
nothing is as he remembers: everything is smaller, the people are
petty and provincial. But when Israeli tanks surround the village
without warning or explanation, everyone inside is cut off from the
outside world. As the situation grows increasingly dire, the
village devolves into a Drawinian jungle, where paranoia quickly
takes hold and threatens the community's fragile equilibrium. With
the enduring moral and literary power of Camus and Orwell, Let It
Be Morning offers an intimate, eye-opening portrait of the
conflicted allegiances of the Israeli Arabs, proving once again
that Sayed Kashua is a fearless, prophetic observer of a political
and human quagmire that offers no easy answers.
